Patricia,  
 
you have concerns and questions that are relevant to LCs, and lactating  
moms, who also need alternatives.
 
As someone who is putting off and dreading the pain of mammogram, I have  
been wondering for years: when oh when will the mammomasher be relegated to the  
Smithsonian?

<<<<Does anyone know of an adequate substitute for routine  mammograms? >>>>
Some suggestions of who to ask: Kathy Dettwyler ( last I heard  she lives in 
DE) ...Georgetown U Hospital, George Washington Hospital  Center for 
Alternative Medicine, .....Dr Susan Love.
 
a search for "alternatives to mammograms" shows lots of  interesting info on 
thermograph, MRI, blood test....
